General distribution. Southeastern Europe, Southern Russia, Ukraine, Turkmenistan. Taxonomy. This species has usually been considered a variety ( Michalski 1973) or subspecies ( Pfeffer 1995) of Scolytus multistriatus , but is listed a separate species by Stark (1952) and Knížek (2011).

Biology. It breeds in species of Ulmus and Zelkova (Ulmaceae) ( Stark 1952; Pfeffer 1995). Recorded in Iran from Ulmus pumila (Ulmaceae) ( Modarres Awal 1997). The biology is almost uninvestigated, but likely to be very similar to S. multistriatus .
